I can always pick out the newly diagnosed PWP, and the new to the PD list. I recognize this, because I also felt the same way, in the beginning However, being a reference librarian in a large library system who is fortunate enough to have the latest electronic information on just about everything, including PD, I have to tell you , even being on a first name basis with all the latest medications, latest tests , and newest symptoms of PD, I still have a slow, wasting disease which controls my life. Knowledge has NOT set me free!!!! At one time I would have hunted down a Shaman or a Witch Doctor if they could have offered any cure. However, after almost 10 years I have decided I might just as well laugh, because it just isn't going to get any funnier. So please keep up the jokes and the banter, and on my really bad times, if it gets on my nerves, I'll just put in a request for "NOMAIL" for awhile, until I decide to join the human race again. Everyone of you are "THE GREATEST"!!!!!!! Thanks for being here!!!! As Ever, Marjorie Moorefield just another librarian with PD. 65/9.75
